Payment Plan Options

Cornerstone University partners with students and their families to manage the cost of higher education. Offering options to pay on a per semester basis or by means of annual payments, select an option to review information pertaining to your tuition statement.

Tuition Statement Timeline

Tuition statements are sent in July for the fall semester, December for the spring semester, and April for the summer semester.

Balance Due Date

Balances are to be paid in full one week prior to the beginning of the respective semester. Being approved for enough loans to cover the balance of the bill or signing up for the online payment plan is considered as paid in full.

Late Fee Schedule

If the balance is not paid by the initial due date, a $100 late fee will be applied. A $25 per month additional fee will be applied for each succeeding month.

Available Payment Methods

Mail | Check or Money Order

To pay your balance or submit a payment by check or money order, please make your form of payment payable to Cornerstone University and include the student's account holder number on the memo line. Payments can be mailed to:

You may pay a tuition balance and associated fees via Automatic Bank Payment or credit card options. If you choose to make your payment using a credit card or debit card rather than by ACH from your checking or savings account, a 2.5% transaction fee will be assessed on each payment. There is no transaction fee for those who use their checking or savings accounts for payment.

Payments can be submitted online through a student's WebAdvisor account. Please note that a negative balance or credit is not money that you owe but will receive at the appropriate time. Here's a step-by-step guide to make an online payment:

Using your Cornerstone University username and password, log in to WebAdvisor.

Access the student menu by clicking the 'Students' link.

Under Financial Information, select 'Make a Payment' to submit a tuition payment.

Available Monthly Payment Plan Enrollment Option

Budget Plan | Advanced Education Services

Cornerstone University offers Advanced Education Services (AES) as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed and there is no credit check. There is a non-refundable enrollment fee that is deducted with your first payment. You may budget your tuition and fees via Automatic Bank Payment or credit card options. If you choose to make your monthly payments using a credit card or debit card rather than by ACH from your checking or savings account, a 2.5% transaction fee will be assessed on each payment. There is no transaction fee for those who use their checking or savings accounts for payment. To register for a monthly payment plan, enroll online.

Enrollment Fees

Semester Plan | $50.00 Enrollment Fee | 5 Months or Less Ending by December or May

Annual Plan | $80.00 | 10 Months or Less Ending by May

Important Considerations

If changes are made to your tuition statement after you have enrolled in AES or paid your balance in full, you are responsible to pay the new balance or make the appropriate change in your payment plan to cover the new balance.

You must sign up for the AES program each semester unless you enroll for the annual plan; being enrolled for the fall semester does not automatically enroll you for the spring semester.

Enrollment fees are applied with each new enrollment period.
